At the request of the Guernsey breeders of the district, the man- agement has added a battery of Guernsey bulls to the Maple Cat- tle Breeders Artificial Insemina- tion Unit and their services are now available. The selection com- mittee’s aim was to secure proven bulls of good type and from high milk production cow families. These were located in some of the outstanding herd; of Ontario. It is interesting to note that in the recent Royal Winter Fair where the Guernsey Show sur- passed any previous showing of the breed, twenty-two prize win- ning exhibits were sired by the Guernsey bulls purchased by the Maple Cattle Breeders. Three of the six first prize winners later won the rosettes for the Junior Champion Bull, Junior Champ- Maple Guernseys Sire Champs Correspondent: Mrs. D.

Wife of Joseph Curtis, she moved with her family while a young girl to the farm on the Third of Mark- ham, below Gormley, which had been in the Nigh family for over 1410 years. Mrs. Curtis was in her 87th year and was descende‘d from Pennsylvania Dutch stock, her forbears having come to Canada about 1800. She had been mar- ried for 48 years, and moved to Bethesda twenty years ago. Be- side her husband, Mrs Curtis is survived by her son Frank and daugher Sadie (Mrs. Treanor Canning.) Mrfand Mi; R.'E.'

Few individual farmers can af- ford to purchase bulls of this cal- ibre but in the unit they will be available to all Guernsey owners and should do much for the breed. The bulls were secured from the following herds where they have been in service: C. F. W. Burns, Kinvgfied Farm, King; H. V. How- ell & Son, Welland; H. W. Stew- art, St. Catharines and Jack Fraser, Fraserdale Farm, Con- cord.

COUNCILLOR ELECT Charles H. MARKHAM TOWNSHIP Corr: Miss Helen Boynton Advertisement For A. N. Curtis 0n the election of Reeve and Councillors all those who have their names on parts one and two of the voters’ list, whether proper- ty owners or not, are entitled to a ballot. Voting hours are from 9 am. to 7 p.m. and the place of voting for Richmond Hill is at the Masonic Hall. " 0n the sewerage plebiscite, prop- erty owners ONLY are entitled to a ballot. These may, of course, be joint owners, as in-the case of man and wife who have property regis- tered in both their names and who have seen that BOTH names are recorded on the voters’ list. In this case they each have a vote. If they have not done so then only the in- dividual who is listed on the voters’ list can vote. Those who are entitled to vote on next Monday, December 5, fall into two distinct classifications, says Village Clerk Russell Lynett, returning officer.

If you, the taxpayers of Markham Township, want this sort of efficient and ec- onomical government which in 1949 kept the expenditures which are controllable by your council down to an increase of 315% in spite of increased population, increased costs and Encreased services then I shall appreciate your vote and influence on and before election ay. Public school taxes account for more of the increase, due to the heavy influx of population. The plain answer is â€" more children to educate. County rate, which is set by County Council, is up ,due to cost of secondary edu- cation. The High School rate is up because of the fact that the township is now included in a high school area and the rate is paid in the year in which the area is set up. Both 1948 and 1949 secondary school costs were paid in 1949, and as there will be only one year to pay for in 1950 this amount should be well down. When taxpayers recall the growth of the township, the additional services. requir- ed, the greater road mileage, the general increase in the cost of all supplies, I think that tlflfey will agree that their 1949 reeve and council didn’t do too badly in handling thelr 8 ans. .But if you study the figures 8. bit more you will find that the actual cost of the operatlon of the township in 1949 was $57,205. In 1948 it was $55,231. Therefore operation costs were only increased $1,974. or 3%%. How can that be, says the taxpayer who compares his 1948 tax bill with his 1949 one and finds the figures away up. The answer is simple. Examine 1the financial statement issued by the Township Treasurer. ' You will find that the total of the 1949 expenditures is $202,558. The 1948 figure was $166,196. Therefore the difference is $36,362.
